Leave it to the USA to just hamfistedly place ourselves at the center of the universe.

Yes, everyone knows the centre of the universe is a small town in Yorkshire.

I subscribe to the Daniel Pfeffer-centric frame of reference.
General Relativity claims that it is just as valid as any other frame of reference.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

But Admiral Relativity says proving that might be some pretty rough sailing.

What part of the West Coast do you live on?
I wonder why so many people want to come here to find a better life.
You could always move to Europe, Russia, Iran, or Ukraine, if you find life here so pompous and self-centered.
And to the baseball fans out there, the U.S. is the center of the world.

You seem sensitive about this.
I think it's healthy to be able to look at one's country and culture, warts and all.
As it is I'm moving to Canada in coming years.

Let me know how you feel about Canada, after you have been there several years.

|

Sure. I have friends who live there, both expats and born there. I live near the border as it is.

In other news today, Netherlands defeated South Africa in World Cup T20 Cricket, and knocked them out of the game.

American Professional Baseball does not seem to relate to many in the lounge.
I know about the other worldly sports, such as soccer, cricket and admire the skills. But as Dan says, it's a frame of reference. I and many of my friends and classmates grew up listening to and watching Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies, Cardinals, Braves, Pirates, etc. 60's-70's. Sandy Koufax, Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial, Roberto Clemente were some of the stars then. Koufax, a favorite, was one of the best pitchers I ever seen.
We loved it when one of the teachers would occasionally play the radio on school intercom in class during the World Series. So World Series was one of the biggest sports event of the year until Super Bowl came along to join it. Yes, USA was at the center of our world. Ham-fisted or not.

I am not much of a baseball fan but have some regret not having been a resident in my home town when the Cubs finally won the World Series. Though I was a faithful viewer when they accomplished the June Swoon back in the year w/ Ron Santo Mr. Cub Ernie Banks and the rest. Though I was resident when the Bears won the Super Bowl. That was Amazing. There is a defensive play by one of the Bears players in one of the games of that year which was imho the greatest defensive play of all time. I am always surprised it never makes the highlight reel over the years since. I am beginning to think maybe I imagined it. I also have some regret not going to a single Bulls game when Michael Jordan was playing. He was a phenom. The one game I watched on tv was when he had the flu. He still outplayed everyone on the court. Amazing. The guy is a Warrior.

Saw Jordan in a Spurs game, my son and I attended (lived in SA during the peak of Spurs teams). In person, you would amazed by his skills. We had tickets above and behind the backboard.
George Gervin, Scotty Pippins were some of the others who performed live better than on TV.
Was it the 1985 Bears (played in Super Bowl XX 1986)? If it was I remember that team. Defense... Got to see Cubs here in Houston, the year they won World Series. Some said the world would come to an end if they won? They won and it didn't.
